Philips Healthcare Introduces the Heartstart FR3: Faster, Easier, Better!!!

 

Philips Healthcare announces the eagerly-awaited Heartstart FR3 is now available in the US. The smallest and lightest professional-grade AED among leading global manufacturers, the FR3 has been designed to be rugged, reliable, and to support the rescuer every step of the way.

The FR3 helps you deliver therapy faster by reducing deployment time. How is the FR3 faster, you may ask? You can set it up to power-on by opening the lid of the carry case (with optional rigid system case). The pre-connected peel-and-place Smart Pads III have no foil pouch to tear open. Just peel off the adhesive back and place the pads on the patient. The same pads are used for adult and pediatric rescues (with optional pediatric key), so there is no need to swap pads. And Philips exclusive "Quick Shock" reduces CPR interruptions and speeds shock delivery.

How does the FR3 make the rescuers job easier, you may ask? Well, among major global manufacturers, it is the smallest and lightest (3.5 lbs) professional-grade AED on the market, making it easier to carry along with other equipment. The bright, high-res color LCD screen helps in noisy environments. The daily, weekly, and monthly self-checks ensure the FR3 is ready when needed. The IP55 rating means it can withstand the physical demands of the rescue professional. The long-life battery, CPR metronome, available bilingual configuration, and extensive upgradability round out the features that are desired by those who want optimal performance in an AED, now and in the future.

All this and more makes the Philips Heartstart FR3 the better choice when considering your next AED investment. Welcome to the next generation in lifesaving equipment! Visit this link for the FR3 Online Demonstration.

More information on the new Defibtech Lifeline View AED--the one with VIDEO!

The new Defibtech Lifeline View AED has features you won't find on any other AED...including a video screen.

Yes. Full-color video!

But more on that in a minute. First, you'll notice the Defibtech Lifeline View has a smaller footprint than its predecessor, known simply as the Lifeline, but he View has the same overall shape that won the original Lifeline so many design awards over the past few years. The engineers at Defibtech downsized their super-portable Lifeline while adding more features...and the View was born.

The Defibtech Lifeline View has more detailed voice prompts including CPR coaching, full text prompting, a smaller, single battery pack, and, of course, the video screen no one else has!

As the loud-and-clear voice prompts guide you through the rescue sequence, the full-color video screen "walks" you by visually showing video snippets of each step. If there's ever a doubt, simply watch the example.

Have you heard of the new "hands-only" CPR method lay-rescuers are taught? Or do you perform CPR the "traditional" way with both chest compressions and rescue breathing? The Defibtech Lifeline View is the only AED on the market that allows you to switch between the AHA approved "hands only" or current AHA 2005 guidelines for rescue breathing and compressions to fit your preferred CPR style.

The View is unique in the fact that it's perfect for in-services or mock rescue deployment training. All video, text and audio can be easily replayed from the "Help Topics" menu. For example, the video for preparing the patient walks the responder through calling for help, removing the clothing and pad placement to ensure workplace employees' quick response through practice preparedness.

This AED is pediatric capable. When the pediatric pads are attached the unit automatically switches to pediatric video showing anterior-posterior pad placement and a child animation.

Defibtech thought of everything to help you ensure the safety of your staff through the ease of checking the View's rescue readiness at the touch of a button. The View is the only AED on the market that has expiration dates programmed into the pads and batteries automatically alerting the AED administrator of the expiration date on the View's patent pending Status Screen. At the touch of a button the Defibtech View's status is displayed on screen showing the battery status, electrode pads status, and rescue software version.

Now let's talk about durability. It's another stand-out feature of the Defibtech Lifeline View AED. First, it's built to the same rugged military drop, vibration and shock specifications of all previous Defibtech models. Second, it has a high "IP Rating" of 55. The number translates to extreme resistance to dust and moisture. It's built to withstand water jets--as if you'll ever expose your AED to that! But the most telling story of this device's strength--even with its video screen--is the crush resistance to 1000 lbs. That's a half ton! Put it all together and the Lifeline View is more rugged and resistant to abuse than other models designed for simple office or indoor deployment. All of these specs are backed up by a full 5-year manufacturer's warranty on the AED and 4-year warranty on the battery.

It's another AEDSuperstore.com first! The all-new Defibtech Lifeline View AED with video prompts is here!

You read that right!

 

The newest AED on the market is from Defibtech and it's called the Lifeline View AED. Not only does it tell you what to do in a sudden cardiac arrest emergency, but the VIDEO screen shows you how to do it with short, full-color video animations! These two layers of prompting help you with both energy delivery and CPR coaching.

 

And the Defibtech Lifeline View AED works great with either the newer "Hands-Only" CPR method, or the traditional chest compression/rescue breathing combo...you get to choose!
